The coroner heard the logistics manager had been prescribed anti-depressants but had not been taking them.

Dawn Ockerby, Mr Oliver’s mum, said he had been given the treatment after his father was diagnosed with cancer and she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“He had never threatened to harm himself before or never gave me any clue of a mental disorder,” said the retired nurse.

“I received the phone call on the morning he was found. It was at 6.45 and Lauren’s exact words were ‘quick, quick, come quick; I think Matt has done something stupid, I think he has killed himself’ then she put the phone down.

“I tried to call her back, but I couldn’t get through.”

The blood/alcohol limit for driving is 80mg and tests showed Mr Oliver had 109 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in his system at the time of his death.

Concluding suicide, coroner Nigel Meadows, said: “At the time of his death, he had a moderate amount of alcohol in his system, but not enough to impair his judgement.

“It’s my sad duty as a coroner to have presided over well over 1,000 cases of suicide.

“If an individual who kills themselves had a better understanding of the way their actions would affect someone else’s life, they probably would have stopped and thought a bit more about their actions, as it has a lasting effect on family and friends.

“A bereavement is an ongoing process for everyone, time makes it a lot easier to bear, but it never goes away. On a balance of probabilities, I am satisfied that Matthew took his own life.”
